KUWAIT CITY, Aug 11: In a board meeting marked by full attendance, Chairman Abdulmohsen Al‑Faqan reaffirmed Kuwait Airways’ strategic ambitions to position the national carrier among the most competitive airlines in the region. Speaking to the press on Monday, he emphasized the board's determination to enhance operational activity, bolster revenues, and elevate the airline's reputation.

Al‑Faqan announced a recently secured delivery schedule: an Airbus A321neo set to arrive later this month, followed by two Airbus A330‑900neo aircraft before year-end. These additions are part of a broader strategic plan already yielding visible improvements in both service and financial performance.

Addressing internal oversight, he noted the airline's cooperation with the Audit Bureau in resolving financial violations—reducing the number under investigation from 16 to seven—and said all legal remedies are being pursued diligently.

The airline continues to modernize, updating passenger services and technological infrastructure and expanding partnerships with domestic companies. These efforts align with Kuwait Vision 2035, which aims to strengthen tourism and the economy.
